Chapter 151
Someone rushed over with a bone-cutting knife, stared warily at Shen Jiao who was sitting on the shaft of the carriage, and could not help but look into the alley blocked by the carriage, as if he was on guard against something.
Everyone looked worried and fierce.
They were even more afraid of Shen Jiao. This was a damn place with stalls everywhere and the roads were jammed. It was difficult for people to pass, let alone cars. There was no possibility of turning around here and the slightest movement could result in hitting someone.
No wonder people think she has bad intentions.
The ground is also extremely dirty...
There was a fishy smell in the air, a mixture of various flavors.
The people were dressed in rags, and many of them were injured.
It's still a fresh injury, only about four or five days old at most.
"Excuse me, we've taken the wrong road. How can we get out? We are outsiders and don't know the road well."
Shen Jiao asked in a very gentle tone, and pulled the curtain to block Xue Shun who wanted to come out.
"Who is in your carriage?" the man holding the bone-cutting knife asked loudly.
"It's my daughter. She has been sick since she was young and cannot stand the wind."
"Why are you out here when you're sick?" someone questioned.
Shen Jiao replied fluently: "Why can't you come out if you are sick? We heard that the tall buildings here light candles at night, and the town is like a nightless city. My lady wanted to see it, so she came out."
Someone looked up at the bright sun in the sky.
"Girl, you can't treat people like fools."
Shen Jiao stammered, "For something like this, you have to find a good position first, right?"
"Did he sneak out?"
Some people started talking.
"Looks like it. Look at her clothes. She's from a wealthy family. How could there be just two of them?"
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"She looks very unfamiliar and a delicate little girl, so it shouldn't be possible."
"Do you think they are at the dock..."
"Shh, you're going to die."
"How is that possible?"
The noise was so loud.
Shen Jiao clutched the horse whip, pressed against the carriage curtain, raised her head with tears in her eyes, and looked at everyone's expressions with a fierce look on her face.
I don’t know whether they believed it or not.
Anyway, the leader, holding the bone-chopping knife, asked, "Where are you going?"
Shen Jiao sniffed softly: "Is there a place called Yonghe Restaurant here?"
As soon as these words were spoken, many people's faces changed immediately and the noisy voices gradually died down.
Shen Jiao's voice trailed off. "Any other building will do, or... just show us where the dock is and how to get out."
She looked really scared.
She was just like a little girl who ran away with the young lady, got lost and didn't know what to do.
I don’t know if those people believed it or not, but an old lady kindly said, “You can’t get out here. The road is too narrow. You have to go back.”
Does she think Shen Jiao has never tried it?
"This horse is not very obedient. It can only move forward and won't move backward."
"Then we have to unload the truck and have people carry it separately before we can turn it around."
This time it was Bone Cutter who spoke, and his tone and expression were not good.
Shen Jiao glanced worriedly back at the carriage curtain, clearly worried about her young lady. She then turned and asked, "Is there any other way? If we unload the carriage...how will my young lady get off?"
This really makes me want to roll my eyes.
"Why are you so precious?"
"She can even get down, but we don't dare help you lift it. Don't blame us if anything breaks."
"Then, what should we do?"
Shen Jiao said helplessly that half of the carriage was still stuck in the alley. There were residents in the front, which was blocked off, and the two sides were so crowded and narrow.
It doesn't matter if she can't go out, what matters in their eyes is that it will bother these people.
More importantly, they seemed to want nothing to do with people like them.
During the stalemate, someone suggested, "Why don't we ask Master Ma San for help? He's sure to have a solution."
"this……"
"Alright," the one holding the bone-chopping knife responded, "I'll go get the master over here, you!"
He pointed the knife at Shen Jiao, frightening her so much that she shuddered and exclaimed:
"What do you want to do?!"
"What do you mean by 'what do I want to do?'" the man holding the bone-chopping knife said fiercely, "I'm going to get help to get you out. You two just stay still and don't try to play tricks, or I'll kill you with my knife! There are so many eyes watching us!"
Shen Jiao nodded honestly under everyone's gaze.
The man with the bone-cutter then ran away in a hurry, but the rest of the people hadn't left yet, and they just surrounded the car and looked at her.
It seemed as if Shen Jiao could tear this place down without paying attention.
She asked tentatively: "Who is he going to see? When will he be back?"
"Just wait patiently, what are you asking?" someone scolded rudely.
However, some people were more amiable and said, "Don't be afraid. We are not bad people. He has gone back to find his great-grandfather. When he arrives, we will find a way to get your horse back."
Shen Jiao: "I've tried it. I whipped it, but it didn't listen."
"That's because I won't listen to you. I will definitely listen to what Master Ma San says."
"Because his last name is Ma?" Shen Jiao asked.
This is so stupid that it makes people laugh.
"What? It's because Master Ma San is..."
"Shh!"
"What are you asking about? It has nothing to do with you."
These people were really wary. Seeing this, Shen Jiao said "oh" dejectedly and stopped talking.
It took a long time before an old man with crutches came, supported by the man with the bone-cutting knife, and walked slowly towards this side.
It’s hard to tell how old he is, but he must be very old.
His hair had fallen out and his eyebrows were sparse. He didn't know if he was born short or had become shrunk due to age. He was hunched over and much shorter than an average person. Only his eyes were still bright and sparkling.
Shen Jiao watched him walk in, then hesitantly jumped out of the car: "Is the old man the Third Master Ma?"
He ignored Shen Jiao completely and walked straight to the side, took a few glances at her, touched the horse pulling the cart lovingly, and patted it twice.
"Good boy, you're really strong."
His eyes fell on the whip marks on the horse and he said with heartache, "What a pity it was ruined."
Shen Jiao said at the right moment: "If the old man can help us get out, we can give you this horse when the young lady and I return to the boat."
"Humph, I'm not that shameless, old man. We won't get involved with people like you. Just leave and pretend you were never here."
He didn't know what he did, but he patted it twice, and the horse actually lowered its head and let him rustle something in its ear. Then it snorted and moved its hooves.
Master Ma San grabbed the reins and looked at Shen Jiao: "Why don't you get on and sit tight?"
Shen Jiao sat on the shaft of the carriage with doubt in his heart, and the horse actually took a few steps back on its own, pushing the carriage back into the alley.
Everyone immediately cheered.
Shen Jiao was also pleasantly surprised and said, "It's really amazing. We have to trouble the old man to walk us a distance so that we can get out."
"Just go ahead. I can't walk any more, so please ask me, your great-grandson, to see you off for a thousand miles."
The Cleaver stepped forward and took the reins from his hands.
